06-2010 was a great time in the co scene. so many folks at the time and though at the start, 95% of servers were built off of LOTF, it was fun and really started my interest in code. FF 15-20 years later, it's a much smaller & less coordinated community than it was. but hey, some folks are still around! got to give props to Fang, though. he has helped document and preserve lots of progress that has been made in the co emulation scene. (oh, and welcome)

really can't recall what region client (or if it was US at some point) had the market with central market being more bottom right. Matches what cq_npc has for 1036 x,y placements. Does anyone have files for that map, or know where to find it?

thank you for this. clients are like finding gold across archives. found a few patches but have had zero luck with any chinese client pre-2005.

I will say the maps look much more lost ark-like than conquer-like. at least from what the autopatcher shows lol

update: they released a public test client that I was able to download. unfortunately still unable to login, though. new client is built in unity with .ab files, so a bit of help from an asset extractor and i'm exporting 150k files to dig around with. did see c3 in the folders- wondering if it's a bit more modern now to align with the overall graphical overhaul https://myczcdndownload.99.com/dhmy/xzq/EudemonsRemake_setup_2.0.1.1331_3.exe if you want to keep in your general wikis for documentation, client patch is currently 1007 1073 according to version.dat

Was doing some nostalgia searching around the net and stumbled on what (google translated) seems to be a modern* remake of EO. Currently, it's in beta and requires a validated Chinese phone # to create an account. Tried to use some of the public phone spoofs for a verification code but to no avail, I think they've begun cracking down on those. Wonder if CO will eventually see a remake.

Oh man, I have been around co dev since 2008 I think. I am very specific with who's material I spend time looking at. Not just grabbing some horrible trinity clone or ncos and pulling out of it. Just touching up on some topics I never delved into very hard, sockets being one of those. Thanks, I'll do some more research within Fang's work and also have yet to take a look at CptSky's, so I'll definitely do that.

Cooldown- I am in the process of doing some R&D. I haven't done anything Conquer related in years but got an itch to do some dev. I am curious on your opinion(s) on sockets- I have been looking thru older sources at sockets.. from Impulse, Hybrid's, Fang's and several others. Who's have you been most impressed with? Who's would you recommend looking at to study? Just want some other opinions on this. Lawless
